    We’ve been to Benihana many times. We celebrated my niece and brother's bdays and got lucky to have Haque as the chef. Haque is magnificent, funny, and super engaging with the kids. We had a wonderful time.

    The Benihana experience is always great! We had a private room which was fantastic so we could hear each other talk as well as enjoy the Hibachi Chef. Our nephew had so much fun watching the Chef do all the tricks. This is the original Benihana restaurant so the prices are suitable and all the courses were delicious. I personally had the sirloin steak and shrimp which were juicy and delicious.
